Re: [squid-users] Re: Video played using vlc media player from a windows media server in not getting stored in cache

Hey,

The answer to all of your questions is very simple.
Squid caches http objects identified by the url and the headers.
the vlc request seems like a 206 partial content request and response.
the only way to cache this kind of object now in squid is to first cache
the whole file while serving chunks of it.
I havn't seen the whole headers but I think it might be the source of
the problem.
If you can take a small peek at the windows update section of the wiki
on caching 206 responses you will probably get the answer..
I think it's the smartest way to cache 206 content for reverse proxy but
for forward proxy it's another story.
